How to detect the target unit/widget/loc/whatever???

Hi:

I'm working with a trigger which will be able to detect some specific orders (move, attack, smart) and I want to know the target of those orders, at least it's coordinates.

So I've tried with this test code:

JASS:

function TS_IssuedMoveAttackOrderCond takes nothing returns boolean
    local boolean b1 = GetIssuedOrderId() == String2OrderIdBJ("move")
    local boolean b2 = GetIssuedOrderId() == String2OrderIdBJ("attack")
    local boolean b3 = GetIssuedOrderId() == String2OrderIdBJ("smart")
    return b1 or b2 or b3
endfunction

function TS_IssuedMoveAttackOrderActions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = GetOrderedUnit()
    local integer o = GetIssuedOrderId()
    call TS_ShowDebugMsg(GetUnitName(u) + " will " + OrderId2String(o))
    call TS_Ping(GetOrderPointX(), GetOrderPointY())
    set u = null
endfunction

function TS_InitSystem takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TS_AddShipsToDatabase()
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_TARGET_ORDER )
    call TriggerAddCondition( t, Condition( function TS_IssuedMoveAttackOrderCond ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function TS_IssuedMoveAttackOrderActions )
    set t = null
endfunction

The TS_ShowDebugMsg and TS_Ping functions only show a text message and show a ping in the minimap respectively.

When the map runs, and the trigger is activated, TS_Ping always show me the (0,0) coordinate. When I tried with the function GetOrderTargetUnit, it doesn't show the unit's name (return null :P)

And the worst thing is this trigger only works with computer controlled units, when I order a unit to move, the trigger doesn't activate.

Is there something missing???

Vexorian	It is not rocket surgery... Just use GetWidgetX/Y(GetOrderTarget())
